Fox Cricket trio Brett Lee, Isa Guha and Kerry O’Keeffe have been stitched up.
New footage of the TV commentators losing the plot behind the scenes emerged on Wednesday night before the Big Bash final.
The popular callers were left in stitches by a cheeky comment from Aussie cult hero O’Keeffe during the New Year’s Eve blockbuster between the Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars.

The on-air meltdown was largely hidden from the live broadcast with the commentary suddenly going silent for 10 seconds while the trio tried to compose themselves after a fit of laughter.
However, the episode has been brutally exposed in all its glory during the Fox Cricket ‘Season Funnies’ segment on Wednesday night.
The vision shows O’Keeffe had his co-hosts in stitches after inadvertently being set-up to deliver a punchline by Guha.
One version of the video clip has been going viral with more than 215,000 views on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Guha responded to one tweet about the incident by tagging her colleagues and writing: “I blame @kokeeffe49 and @BrettLee_58”.
The trio were already in a giggling mood on New Year’s Eve after earlier discussing Guha’s on-stage appearance at one of Lee’s Six And Out gigs in Melbourne.
And when O’Keeffe joked about wanting the Strikers-Stars game to finish on time so he could make a quick getaway it all fell apart.
“Fifty (runs) off 27 (balls), it’s going to get tight. It’s going to come down to the last over,” O’Keeffe said.
Guha responded: “Don’t you want a climax?”, before grinning sheepishly.
After a long pause, O’Keeffe said deadpan: “I’d like one”.
The live TV broadcast showed a 10 second gap in the commentary where all that could be heard was some stifled, snorting laughter.
The new footage that emerged on Wednesday showed just how hard the trio tried to keep it together, rocking back and forth in their seats.
O’Keeffe eventually returned to the commentary by saying: “… but not from Marcus Stoinis (who was batting at the time)”.
The moment is one of dozens of iconic commentary gags O’Keeffe has dropped this summer.
